His majg .y HTaa very abstinent, as we
have tecI. al had great faith in natures
oTvn processes Of cure. Certain forms Of
Indulgence he particularly hated. To-
bncco he could not endure, and his dis
like of it was such that his private sccrC-
tary, Gen. Won During, who was a slave
to the habit, as most military men in Ger.
many are, was put to the most severe aE;l
laughable straits to indulge it and yet not
TO offend the king.
Half past 8 was the generals hour of
morning attendance. Five minutes be-
fore that time four servants stood in the
passage leading to the ante-room. One
held an old horse soldiers cloak with a
slit behind; one held a red hot shovel with
a long handle like a warming pan; one
held "a d~ecanter of water and u glass, and
a bottle containing a colored liquid; and
one was there to hold the papers and TO
take the pipe which the general smoked
down the passage to the very last mo-
ment. No. l then covered the old score
tary's shoulders with the t~hreadbure and
stained old cloak, which had gone through
the Peninsular war and which was now
buckled tight around the neck. No. .
poured some incense into the hot shovel
and inserted it between the generals legs
through the slit behind. The process CON
tinued for a minute or two and the old
nan was nearly stifed but only impreg-
mated. Then No. 3 from decanter in
hand poured out n glass of water, Of
which the general took a hearty gulp,
rinsed his mouth out and spat it on the
carpeted floor; then he threw off his
cloak, seized his papers n letters from
No. A and rushed steaming into the kings
presence as the various clocks struck the
half hour.-Gentloman's Magazine.

Few Facilities for Bathing.

Statistics collected by DIR. Rhoe show
that five-siXths of the inhabitants of all
cities in this country have no IA
cilities for bathing, except such rs are
afforded by Il pail and n sponge, or
an easily accessible river, lake, or some
other body of water. The establishment
of public baths is urgently recommended,
both as n sanitary as well as n moral
measure. Tub or pool baths are objec-
tionable both on account of the expense
and lack of privacy in the latter. The
spray bath, in use in the French and Ger
man army barracks, are recommended.
These are not at all expensive, either in
the first cost or the administration, and
allow each bather absolute privacy, and
the opportunity for n thorough cleansing
in clean water. Public baths should be
open the year round, and not only during
the summer months.-Boston Herald.

'There goes an illustration" said a
gentleman at the Morton house, ''of the
mental suffering an innocent witness of n
memorable tragedy may endure through
life. That's John Matthews, the well
known IL everywhere liked comedian.
He happened to be playing with Laura
Keene ut Washington when Booth muir
dered Lincoln ut Ford's theatre Mat
thews, always gentle and womanly in his
temperament, received a nervous shock
on that occasion from which he has never
recovered. 1t is really painful to see the
distressing change in his disposition. He
still has about him a sort of constrained
pleasantly, but 1t soften clouded over with
II deep set melancholia over which his
friends have no control. Like those who
sat in the box on that fatal night, he
seems to be the victim of n peculiarly sad
and gloomy fate. New York Sun.

Railroads In Johnson county.

With the Burlington & Missouri and
the Cheyenne & Northern surveyors OPP
Grating in this section of Wyoming, the
question naturally arises, what is the
Northwestern going to do? 1t is hardly
possible that with the start the latter
company has Tor the business of this
regIon that the Northwestern will let
either of its competitors get in the lead.
There is something about the movements
of the Burlington and the Northwestern
that will keep people guessing at least
a while lnnper.

he again escapes the clutches of the

To THE appeal issued by the Massa-
chusetts Republican State Central com
mittee to the Prohibitionists of that state
asking them to withdraw from a third
party, the Rev. A. A. Miner, of Boston,
writes a scorching reply. Among other
things he says: One would conclude
from the tone of your appeal that the
Democratic party of Boston is responsible
for the liquor selling of Boston. The
truth is, the authority on this subject, as
you well know, gentlemen, is not in any
degree in the lands of the city govern
ment OF Boston, but wholly in the hands
of the Republican party of the state. The
governor appoints the police commission
ers, the commissioners grant the licenses
and control the police force executing the
law or leaving it u~nexecuted, as they choose.
Not a single saloon in Boston carries on
the licensed liquor business without the
direct sanction, backing and protection Of
the immediate head of your party in the
state. If, then, you wish the number of
licenses diminished, why is it not done?
One thing, gentlemen, you make clear
your hatred Of the Democratic party. OF
this | have nothing to say. But if the
Democratic party is the great run power
in the state, as you allege, it is plain that
the Republican party is its agent, since ii
grants all the licenses. This is n cold

gerinns who meet in q certain wine shop
popular with the Frenchmen Of lower
Sixth avenue, and Alexandria, Cairo and
Arabia proper are all represented in the
human kaleidoscope of the town. These
North Africans are shrewd tradesmen.
They seem to awe beer born with a
genius for commerce. They take quite
naturally to poddling, and travel from
house to house and office to office with all
sorts of wares that are just Us likely to
come from France as from Africa. The
Moors appear to be the blacklist in skin.
Most Of them arc of q rich mahogany
color. but with fno features and clearly
cut lips. Some of the Arabs are also
very dark. The Algerians and Tunisians
look like badly sunburnt Italians. The
Algerians talk o sort of pigeon French
and the Moors q pigeon Spanish. but all
of them pick up a smAttering of English
